For the first time, PGA Tour player John Daly is coming to Western North Carolina to host his own golf tournament, and the staff at Broadmoor Golf Links in Fletcher couldn't be happier.

"This all came about after we were bought by Warrior Golf Acquisition. John Daly signed with Warrior Golf, and that's how he was brought to our course to host his own tournament," Travis Brotherton, Broadmoor's head golf professional and general manager, said.

Daly, whose last PGA win was in 2004 in San Diego, won two majors during his playing career: The 1991 PGA Championship and the 1995 British Open.

The John Daly Golf Tournament will begin with a 1 p.m. shotgun start on Sept. 30, and the course is offering quite a package for the $150 entry fee. That fee will include a signature series John Daly Warrior Club Wedge, tournament entry and cart fees, a bag of tees, a Warrior Club hat, a gift certificate, a sleeve of Warrior golf balls, a Warrior Golf shirt and a boxed lunch and dinner.

For this year, he doesn't have full playing privileges on the PGA Tour, relying on his status as a past champion and on sponsor invitations to earn entry into PGA events. He is currently nursing a rotator cuff injury he suffered last month at the Greenbrier Classic.

"We were originally having John come the last part of August for the tournament, but that had to be pushed back after his injury. He's known for his long drives, and we were hoping he'd be able to do a long drive demonstration prior to the tournament. But he's also great at his short game, too, so he's probably going to do a short-game demo instead," Brotherton said.

Prior to the Daly tournament, Broadmoor is hosting another big event for the first time: The Asheville Amateur Championship, which will be held Sept. 13-15.

"Even though it is just before the tournament, we don't have a full field yet. We still think we'll have a few last-minute entries. This is something we hope to have every year at Broadmoor, because our course and our facilities are great for a tournament-type atmosphere," Brotherton said.

Cost for the Asheville Amateur is $150 per player prior to Sunday and $170 after. The field will be limited to the first 128 paid participants.
